Last night I had another one of those moments where I just couldn’t believe that what was happening was really my life. As you may have seen, seeing Andrea Bocelli preform has been a part of my bucket list for a long time. When my sisters and I were little and our parents would play […]
Back to Venezia
Maybe you’ve noticed, but I’ve gotten myself a little bit behind in posts; it’s the beginning of May, and I’m just finally writing about my parents’ visit from February! I was very excited to spend February break in two of my favorite places that I’d also visited with Holly. As much as I’d like to […]

Experiences in “Putting Myself Out There”
I spent most of last year very focused on the situation I’d gotten myself into: new job, new country, new language, new friends, new apartment, new adventure. A new man seemed like the absolute last thing I could focus on in a million years. This year I’ve been, as they say, “putting myself out there” […]
We’re With the Band: A Day Trip in Bergamo

As someone who’s been in Milan for probably 10 years (I can’t remember exactly how long it’s been), she’s explored so many areas and tried enough restaurants to really have it narrowed down […]
Where We Lay Our Scene
As I see more of my beautiful Italy, I can’t help loving it more and more. I still have nearly two years left on my contract, and I’m already starting to worry about how I’ll ever be able to leave. But enough of that, on to adventures! Last spring, a few friends and I found […]
Exploring the World Marco Polo Style
The second stop on our summer adventure was Venice, a city I’ve been dying to see for a while now. It’s a short train ride from Milan (though we traveled from Rome), and while it’s incredible enough to spend a month visiting, it’s also the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. Holly and I fell […]
Roaming Rome (hehe word play)
Who doesn’t love souvenir shops?! As I type this, I’m sitting on the top step of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, looking down on Via Nazionale in Rome. It’s the last night of my third trip to Rome, and the three words that cross my mind probably 15 times a day are again going through my head: […]
